OVCTC FFA is very fortunate to have such a hard working group of officers this year. They have created lots of fun activities for members, led by example, and have learned to keep meetings orderly and effective. Mr. White and Mr. Rhonemus would not be able to get things done as efficiently in the chapter if it wasn’t for these dedicated individuals. We would like to congratulate 3 of our officers for their state ratings! These young ladies put in countless hours and sacrificed their personal time to get their ratings! Kaitlyn Shreffler Gold Rated Treasurer book, Aly Simpson Silver Rated Secretary book, and Whitney Hill Gold Rated Reporter book. Whitney and Aly will be recognized at the Ohio State FFA convention this spring to receive their gold pins! Keep up the good work team and thanks for doing a great job!
